PROBLEM

VERSE provides a strategic tool for enhancing vision-language models in document understanding by visualizing and improving visual embeddings. VERSE enables the visualization of latent representations, supporting the assessment of model feasibility.

METHOD

Full abstract

This work introduces VERSE, a methodology for analyzing and improving Vision-Language Models applied to Visually-rich Document Understanding by exploring their visual embedding space. VERSE enables the visualization of latent representations, supporting the assessment of model feasibility. It also facilitates the identification of problematic regions and guides the generation of synthetic data to enhance performance in those clusters. We validate the methodology by training on the synthetic MERIT Dataset and evaluating on its real-world counterpart, MERIT Secret. Results show that VERSE helps uncover the visual features associated with error-prone clusters, and that retraining with samples containing these features substantially boosts F1 performance without degrading generalization. Furthermore, we demonstrate that on-premise models such as Donut and Idefics2, when optimized with VERSE, match or even surpass the performance of SaaS solutions like GPT-4 and Pixtral.

RESULT

ScienceToStartup currently rates this 8.0/10 on the public viability pass. VERSE enables the visualization of latent representations, supporting the assessment of model feasibility.
